| ispiked | hi, I'm looking for how to find information on the new, graphical debian installer. | 02:49 |
| neuralis | ispiked: debian doesn't have one; you mean ubuntu. the installer is called espresso. what information are you looking for? | 02:50 |
| ispiked | neuralis: I thought expresso was for livecds, not just a regular old install. | 02:50 |
| neuralis | ispiked: espresso runs on the livecd, but is used for setting up a regular old installation. | 02:51 |
| neuralis | ispiked: in other words, if the livecd runs and you can start espresso, you don't need an installation cd. | 02:51 |
| ispiked | neuralis: so expresso is probably what I used to install 5.10? | 02:51 |
| neuralis | ispiked: no. 5.10 has the textual/curses installer (d-i). | 02:52 |
| ispiked | neuralis: ok... how can one install dapper? | 02:52 |
| neuralis | ispiked: unless that's what you meant by "graphical" debian installer, but that's been around for a while now. | 02:52 |
| LaserJock | ispiked: you can install dapper from either the Dapper livecd or install cd | 02:53 |
| ispiked | neuralis: that is not what I meant. | 02:53 |
| neuralis | ispiked: see laserjock's message about installing dapper. | 02:53 |
| ispiked | I know that one can use expresso with the livecd, but what can they use with the install cd? | 02:53 |
| neuralis | ispiked: it's e*s*presso, not the 's'. | 02:54 |
| ispiked | neuralis: ok. | 02:54 |
| neuralis | ispiked: the install cd still comes with the same textual/curses installer as before (d-i). | 02:54 |
| ispiked | neuralis: are there plans to integrate espresso with the install cd? | 02:54 |
| ispiked | neuralis: making it succeed d-i? | 02:54 |
| LaserJock | no | 02:55 |
| neuralis | ispiked: well, there are plans to not ship the install cd via shipit. | 02:55 |
| neuralis | ispiked: thus making the install cd unnecessary for those for whom the livecd runs fine, which indirectly means that espresso will be succeeding d-i. | 02:55 |
| ispiked | personally, I'd like a graphical installer without having to load a livecd. | 02:56 |
| ispiked | but I guess I'll have to get my fix with other distros. | 02:56 |
| Burgundavia | ispiked: the live cd installer is actually the fastest installer I have ever used | 03:02 |
| ispiked | Burgundavia: yeah, but you have to take into account load time for the livecd. | 03:02 |
| Burgundavia | ispiked: that includes that | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | ubuntu is also the fastest live cd I have tried | 03:03 |

| Chipzz | neuralis: ispiked was actually asking a very valid question; but the graphical installer is a feature planned for etch iirc, not ready in time for dapper | 06:16 |
| ispiked | Chipzz: yeah. I was just confused about livecd installer vs. graphical installer. I initially thought this new installer for dapper was something similar to anaconda. | 06:21 |
| Burgundavia | ispiked: nope, although there is effort underway to do a graphical front end to d-i, with gtk | 06:30 |
| ispiked | Burgundavia: is there a bug on launchpad for it? | 06:32 |
| Burgundavia | ispiked: for what, a graphical installer? the work for that is ongoing, and not suitable for dapper | 06:33 |
| ispiked | Burgundavia: yep. | 06:33 |
| Burgundavia | ispiked: for espresso, the live cd installer, file bugs as you find them | 06:33 |

| ispiked | Burgundavia: the future stuff. | 06:34 |

| ispiked | Burgundavia: ok. | 06:34 |
| Burgundavia | ubuntu made the policy decision to create a livecd installer back in montreal last year | 06:35 |

| fabbione | morning guys | 06:46 |
| ajmitch | hi | 07:02 |
| Chipzz | Burgundavia: yeah, but a graphical version of the regular installer would be nice polish ;) | 07:03 |
| Burgundavia | Chipzz: but if only the server guys are seeing it, who cares? | 07:04 |
| Chipzz | will there be no regular install cd's for ubuntu then, only live-cd's? | 07:05 |
| infinity | There will be ISOs, but we don't intend to ship the CDs pre-pressed, if espresso works out. | 07:06 |
| Burgundavia | they will be there, just hidden | 07:06 |
| infinity | Since 99% of the people we send shipit discs to should be satisfied by the combo livecd/espresso, and we get to ship 1 CD instead of 2. | 07:06 |
| Burgundavia | if you just download ubuntu, you will get the livecd | 07:07 |
| Chipzz | that's what I thought (only /shipping/ live-cd's) | 07:07 |
| Chipzz | remind me again, espresso doesn't use debootstrap, right? | 07:08 |
| infinity | Nope. | 07:08 |
| infinity | It copies the installed system from the livefs. | 07:08 |
| infinity | (Of course, the livefs was created with debootstrap, but that's not really what you were asking) | 07:08 |

| fabbione | Chipzz: it's just a different way to install. It works just fine | 07:09 |
| Chipzz | I guess I just have more confidence in debootstrap than copying a live cd | 07:09 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: it's not much different from when you tar your system up and untar it somewhere like on a new disk | 07:10 |
| infinity | In some ways, it's actually more reliable, in that we're essential copying a system image, so we know exactly how it will turn out. | 07:10 |
| Chipzz | fabbione: and I don't have much confidence in that either ;) | 07:10 |

| Chipzz | anyway... how does espresso look wrt oem installs? | 07:13 |
| infinity | It's not meant for OEM installs at all. You want the regular install CD for that. | 07:13 |
| Chipzz | uhu... | 07:14 |
| lifeless | I'm curious, why it was chosen to copy the livefs | 07:14 |
| lifeless | not suggesting its wrong, just curious | 07:14 |
| fabbione | lifeless: because a livefs is just a debootstrap of the ubuntu-desktop with more stuff | 07:15 |
| fabbione | and you don't need to carry around all the .debs | 07:15 |
| lifeless | makes sense | 07:15 |
| lifeless | and you can then uninstall unneeded packages | 07:15 |
| Chipzz | sth totally different... what's the reasoning for splitting up the kernel in smaller udeb's, but having just linux-image and linux-restricted modules as debs? | 07:15 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: udebs are used for the installer only. | 07:16 |

| janimo | infinity: can you spin a new xubuntu live? | 07:17 |
| Chipzz | take into account that you also need twice the space the actual unpacked deb takes (for temporary files I guess)... | 07:18 |
| daq4th | .oO(dependencies are overrated) | 07:18 |
| infinity | janimo: Yeahp. Can do. | 07:19 |
| Chipzz | fabbione: what I was asking is, why is a similar split /not/ done for the kernel debs? | 07:19 |
| janimo | infinity: cool, thanks | 07:19 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: it's pointless on the kernel deb. once you rebuild the Depends: list you will pull in again everything | 07:20 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: + the fact that not having all the kernel installed will limit machine usage a lot | 07:20 |
| fabbione | like hotpluggable devices | 07:20 |
| Chipzz | fabbione: not if you have a lot of meta-packages like we have for linux-image and linux-resistricted-moules atm | 07:21 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: and what's the point of splitting if you are going to reassemble it on the target system anyway? | 07:21 |
| Chipzz | you're starting from the assumption that you are going to install them all again here, which may not be the case? | 07:23 |
| fabbione | as it stands now is the case | 07:23 |
| fabbione | and not installing all of it has sense only in case of embedded devices | 07:24 |
| fabbione | on normal machine you want all of it | 07:24 |

| Chipzz | what I may want is drivers for hotpluggable devices; but 95% of the chipset drivers, alternative fs drivers, lvm and evms (which also pull in daemons which I cannot uninstall or disable!), possibly wireless chipset drivers for desktops, ... | 07:26 |
| Chipzz | those I do not want/need | 07:26 |
| fabbione | those are what a lot of other people wants | 07:26 |
| fabbione | and there is a chain of depends in the kernel that you must respect | 07:26 |
| fabbione | do you want scsi? | 07:27 |
| Chipzz | that's a tricky one ;) *g* | 07:27 |
| Chipzz | I want the generic scsi driver, yes | 07:27 |
| fabbione | why? | 07:27 |

| fabbione | i need lvm | 07:28 |
| Chipzz | fabbione: sata, usb devices, firewire devices, ... | 07:28 |

| fabbione | Chipzz: so you see.. break that depends and it is a mess | 07:29 |

| lifeless | Chipzz: how big is your flash drive ? | 07:31 |
| Chipzz | fabbione: but take lrm for example... maybe I only need the nvidia stuff, and it also pulls in a lot of wireless drivers including firmware, firmware which is duplicated in every lrm deb | 07:32 |
| Chipzz | alternatively, I may also want one of these wireless drivers, and it pulls in nvidia-kernel-common | 07:33 |

| Chipzz | lifeless: I'm not booting from a flashdrive | 07:35 |

| lifeless | then the smallest disk if you have a 3 year old machine is what - 20Gb in size | 07:35 |
| lifeless | 60Mb -> 0.25% of your disk space. | 07:35 |
| Chipzz | linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-19-686 is another 20MB of space | 07:36 |
| Chipzz | lifeless: people having linux-image installed doing dist-upgrades pull in a new image every other couple of weeks, without the old images getting uninstalled automagically | 07:36 |
| fabbione | Chipzz: wrong.. | 07:37 |
| Chipzz | lifeless: and the issue is not about hard-disks, it's about your / or /boot partition | 07:37 |
| lifeless | Chipzz: they get uninstalled automatically. | 07:37 |

| Chipzz | but you can't deny the kernel is rather fat (and keeps growing) | 07:42 |
| Chipzz | but let me give another example | 07:42 |
| Chipzz | xorg is split up in different servers (largely for reasons of upstream splitting it up I guess) | 07:43 |

| bluefoxicy | hey guys | 08:05 |
| bluefoxicy | check out libgtk2.0-common in dapper will you | 08:05 |
| bluefoxicy | it's a 2800 byte download | 08:06 |
| bluefoxicy | it installs damn fast, creates 3 80 byte files | 08:06 |
| bluefoxicy | synaptic seems to think it's 12.8 megs installed. | 08:06 |
| crimsun | huH? | 08:07 |
| infinity | Installed-Size: 12280 | 08:08 |
| infinity | Cute. | 08:08 |
| crimsun | at least /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc isn't 80 bytes | 08:08 |
| === janimo [n=jani@Home03207.cluj.astral.ro] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| bluefoxicy | okay so it's 3.5K there | 08:09 |
| bluefoxicy | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 2006-04-10 11:51 /usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc | 08:09 |
| bluefoxicy | infinity: synaptic definitely says 12.6MB here. | 08:10 |
| bluefoxicy | well | 08:11 |
| bluefoxicy | I guess it's a bug then. | 08:11 |
| infinity | Well, yes, I was pointing out that apt claims 12.280 MB here. (Installed-Size is in k) | 08:11 |
| bluefoxicy | ah | 08:11 |
| bluefoxicy | I was trying to figure out how much it would cost to do a LiveCD with an X environment used as a graphical boot, instead of usplash | 08:11 |
| bluefoxicy | and figured I wanted GTK+ and ZEnity, because I want some scriptability | 08:12 |
| bluefoxicy | and was like | 08:12 |
| bluefoxicy | "..... 26 megs? wtf?" | 08:12 |
| bluefoxicy | (libx11-6 + kdrive + gtk + zenity) | 08:12 |
| bluefoxicy | so i guess... well, hey, I could compress this stuff onto a squashfs and the initrd would mount it and pivot_root in, that would give me it in 2MB if I assume libgtk2.0-common is like.. a few bytes :P | 08:14 |

| pitti | hey Mithrandir, hi bluefoxicy | 08:18 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: you're aware that the live cd already does persistence? | 08:18 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: cool, then I'll do the full range again right after I finished my firefox stuff on breezy | 08:20 |
| Mithrandir | thanks | 08:20 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: interesting. | 08:21 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: I was thinking more locating removable devices and using find on them to locate control files and root images :) | 08:22 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: the live is going to be more modular for dapper+1, at least that's the plan. | 08:23 |
| Mithrandir | so making a version with langpacks will be a lot easier. | 08:23 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: what I'm aiming at is a core "Bootstrap" that is just the CD; "Boot Modules" that are automatically created by handing it a packaged .deb of a kernel image and whatever modules (-restricted-modules etc) and add kernels to the boot menu... | 08:24 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: you need a full chroot to build the initramfs though, not just the kernel .deb | 08:25 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: a "Base Module" (think Morphix) that's the first level root; "Extension Modules" that get loaded on top of it and have information inside them explaining what other EMs they depend on; and "Bootstrap Modules" in 3 phases that modify the bootstrapping process :) | 08:25 |
| nomed | bluefoxicy: unionfs should let you doing that easly | 08:25 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: this can't be created on the fly? | 08:25 |
| bluefoxicy | nomed: of course. | 08:25 |
| pitti | wow, that works fine, they managed to not break the ABI :) | 08:26 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: initramfs == initrd | 08:26 |
| bluefoxicy | ? | 08:26 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: yes. | 08:26 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: well, modern kernels use initramfs-es which are mostly like old initrds except where they aren't. | 08:27 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: nod, not a problem. That can easily be scripted. | 08:27 |
| bluefoxicy | the stuff is pretty generic. | 08:27 |
| bluefoxicy | the only thing different between 2 initrd files should probably be the actual modules in them; the scripts, /lib, and /bin should be more or less equivalent ne? | 08:28 |
| bluefoxicy | besides that, create a chroot using (was it?) jail, build, destroy chroot. | 08:28 |
| bluefoxicy | the only things I'm actually worried about right now are syncing up dpkg databases | 08:29 |
| bluefoxicy | I need a way to take one file system, compare it with another, and snapshot the list of changes made to the dpkg database. If it was based on bdb or sqlite that would be pretty much a little bit of SQL and then executing some SQL to update everything consistently after stacking an EM; but with a flat file, I need to do a bit more work :) | 08:30 |
| nomed | bluefoxicy: what i do is to split the status files in pkge.status | 08:30 |
| nomed | and then i merge all of them while booting up the cd | 08:30 |
| nomed | depending on the module you selected .. | 08:31 |
| nomed | i didn't find anything better then that | 08:31 |
| bluefoxicy | nomed: I designed this whole thing in like 5 minutes in my head and have just been fleshing it out; my mastering process was "debbootstrap a base module, write to a squashfs; unionfs mount a blank directory over it, drop into a chroot() shell, run commands, exit, make squashfs of blank directory; continue as such" | 08:32 |
| nomed | anyway bluefoxicy having let's say modules as morphix may cause problems ... | 08:32 |
| nomed | you'll notice the boot will slow down | 08:32 |
| bluefoxicy | yes | 08:32 |
| bluefoxicy | it has to iterate through modules and unionfs mount them | 08:32 |
| bluefoxicy | I am aware. | 08:33 |
| bluefoxicy | also stacking too many causes slowdowns at runtime | 08:33 |
| bluefoxicy | I was hoping for something where building a livecd involves just slapping together a few basic modules (base, X11, GTK, Qt, KDE, GNOME, XFCE, applications) and mix and matching them (base, X11, GTK, GNOME; base, X11, Qt, KDE; base, X11, GTK, XFCE) | 08:35 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: your ideas resemble mine a bit. Probably not an exact match, but we're thinking about going there in the future. | 08:35 |
| bluefoxicy | it'd be possible to dependency-weaken the image at build time, especially if there's no Phase 0 Bootstrap Module; all modules will be loaded so slap them all into one big one at creation time | 08:36 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: this is what i did some months ago | 08:36 |
| nomed | http://www.dsslive.org/mediawiki/index.php/About | 08:37 |
| nomed | i would port that stuff to casper too ... | 08:37 |
| bluefoxicy | aside from that, building dependency trees (X11 needs base, GTK needs X11, GNOME needs GTK, XFCE needs GTK, you have an XFCE/GNOME LiveCD) and reducing as possible (GTK+X11+base, GNOME, XFCE) would help too | 08:37 |
| bluefoxicy | all of which is automatable :) | 08:38 |
| nomed | anyway .. i was here to ask if anyone can explain how gconf is used by espresso. | 08:38 |
| bluefoxicy | Mithrandir: you wanna talk later? | 08:38 |
| Mithrandir | nomed: it looks a lot like casper, yes. | 08:39 |
| nomed | i sent already a patch to Kamion , as espresso it was checking just gnome-screensaver .. and xubuntu uses xscreensaver | 08:39 |
| Mithrandir | bluefoxicy: sure | 08:39 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: yep .. i left it after dapper | 08:39 |
| nomed | now i would integrate casper .. as it's really similar | 08:40 |
| nomed | at that time breezy was using d-i | 08:40 |
| nomed | Mithrandir: anyway on old machines having modules may cause problems .. from what i tested | 08:41 |
| === Chipzz wonders... a trimmed down live cd, without OOo and language packs for example, + files needed for a network install, would that fit on a businesscard cd? | ||
| Mithrandir | nomed: why? | 08:41 |

| Chipzz | Mithrandir: wouldn't cutting OOo and the language packs go a long way? | 08:42 |

| nomed | Mithrandir: i guess it's because the cd drive has to read files all over the cd | 08:42 |
| Mithrandir | Chipzz: a business card cd is about 50MB. The live fs is currently at ~500MB. You need to shave off a bit more than just OOo and langpacks. | 08:44 |

| Mithrandir | janimo: do you want live images too when x-d-s 0.6 gets in? | 09:43 |
| nomed | janimo: no .. i can get it again | 09:43 |
| nomed | but i guess espresso will be still the same | 09:43 |
| mdz | where are the beta release notes being assembled? | 09:43 |
| janimo | Mithrandir: if it';s not much work sure, otherwise later since I plan do do some livecd debugging today | 09:43 |
| janimo | and I am dling current one | 09:43 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperBeta | 09:43 |

| janimo | Mithrandir: so probably a new live will be needed tonight or tomorrow so do not bother with one now, unless really easy to do :) | 09:44 |
| Mithrandir | janimo: the live images are generally very rsyncable so you probably want to use rsync rather than wget once you've downloaded it once. | 09:44 |
| janimo | Mithrandir: ah good idea thanks. are they more resyncanble than install? | 09:45 |
| Mithrandir | janimo: I won't just build one to build one. If you have something you wan tested, I can do it, but it's a waste of resources to build one just for the heck of it. | 09:45 |

| janimo | Mithrandir: ok I'll ping you when a new build is needed then, thanks | 09:45 |
| mvo | mdz: just finished | 09:45 |
| mvo | mdz: it's yours now | 09:45 |

| Mithrandir | ogra_ibook: and -install done and published. | 09:47 |
| janimo | nomed, what font do we have by default that looks ugly? | 09:48 |
| janimo | dholbach: what is the default UI font in ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| janimo | I did not closely follow the dejav vs bistream discussion | 09:48 |
| nomed | janimo: i really don't know checking .. | 09:48 |
| janimo | nomed in the ui settings dialog | 09:49 |
| dholbach | janimo: i'm not quite sure. you should ask doko or Diziet | 09:49 |
| nomed | anyway the problem is not that they are ugly (generally a point of view :) ) they're too small | 09:49 |
| janimo | nomed, ok will figure it out using the livecd and upload a fix tonight | 09:50 |
| janimo | Diziet: hi, which font is now used as default for gnome ui/firefox ? | 09:50 |
| janimo | in xfce default install firefox has very small fonts | 09:51 |
| janimo | nomed, it may be some xinitrc settings we are missing | 09:51 |
| mdz | espresso and usplash fixes confirmed in the current build | 09:51 |
| dholbach | mdz, Mithrandir: if you don't mind, I'll do the gnopernicus, gok and ubuntu-meta uploads in a bit. | 09:51 |
| janimo | there was some dpi:100 vs dpi:75 issue a while back, it may be the same | 09:51 |
| nomed | janimo: it looks like a dpi issue | 09:51 |
| fabbione | crap | 09:52 |
| mdz | dholbach: the sooner the better | 09:52 |
| dholbach | mdz: working on it | 09:52 |
| nomed | firefox has 96dpi .. switching to system default seems better | 09:52 |
| mdz | dholbach: by the way, I now get a dialog when I press two keys at once. how do I stop that? | 09:52 |
| === mendred [n=mendred@59.92.61.133] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | I ran gok once | 09:53 |
| janimo | nomed, so firefox has 96 by default and our x settings say 75? | 09:53 |
| dholbach | mdz: do you have a11y enabled in gnome-at-properties? | 09:53 |
| nomed | janimo: i don't knwo the xfce default .. it should be in xinitrc | 09:53 |
| nomed | checking | 09:53 |
| mdz | dholbach: definitely not | 09:53 |
| mdz | oh, it says changes will not take effect until the next login though | 09:54 |
| janimo | nomed, looks like 96 too | 09:54 |
| mdz | so I may have turned it off during this session | 09:54 |
| nomed | janimo: yep | 09:54 |
| nomed | so i really don't know | 09:54 |
| dholbach | mdz: hope that fixes it for you | 09:54 |
| mdz | i386 test install in vmware looks good | 09:55 |
| mdz | (espresso) | 09:55 |
| janimo | nomed so regarding espresso is the grub thing the only bug? | 09:55 |
| seb128 | is there any round of upload possible or planned? | 09:55 |
| dholbach | seb128: i'll do gnopernicus, gok and ubuntu-meta in soon | 09:56 |
| mdz | infinity: can you tell me a bit about the initramfs-tools change? | 09:56 |
| Mithrandir | dholbach: uh, why? | 09:56 |
| mdz | seb128: yes, there will be at least one more build | 09:56 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: a11y | 09:56 |
| seb128 | mdz: I was considering doing an upload of gnome-panel without the laptop profile hack | 09:57 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: did they ftbfs last night? infinity uploaded them 12-ish hours ago. | 09:57 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: uploaded what? | 09:57 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: no, menu entry changes and a seed change | 09:57 |
| seb128 | mdz: the profile was to have battstat on laptop, but now that's only duplication with g-p-m | 09:57 |
| mdz | seb128: laptop profile hack? | 09:57 |
| seb128 | yeah, we have a desktop and a laptop profile | 09:57 |
| seb128 | the laptop having battstat | 09:57 |
| mdz | seb128: oh, I thought we had already dropped battstat in favour of g-p-m | 09:57 |
| mdz | seb128: so yes, please get that in | 09:57 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: gok and gnopernicus due to a soname change in brltty. | 09:57 |
| nomed | janimo: and an issue with xscreensaver | 09:58 |
| seb128 | mdz: k, will do now | 09:58 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: this is dropping them from the menu, and removing dasher | 09:58 |
| dholbach | Mithrandir: no, that was gnopernicus only. | 09:58 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: so applications->accessibility disappears by default | 09:58 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: ah, ok. | 09:58 |
| mvo | i386/espresso looks good here too (modulo the problem that you need to press enter when splash-down is compelte to actually reboot) | 09:59 |
| mdz | mvo: why is that a problem? | 09:59 |
| janimo | nomed, does the xscreensaver issue make espresso not work? | 09:59 |
| mdz | mvo: the live CD has always worked that way...or are you not seeing the prompt? | 10:00 |
| mvo | mdz: I don't see the prompt | 10:00 |
| mdz | mvo: make sure you have the latest build; I fixed that last night | 10:00 |

| mvo | mdz: I did a rsync this morning, let me check again | 10:00 |
| nomed | janimo: not that but espresso checks if gnome-scrinsaver is running in that case it disables it | 10:01 |
| nomed | there is a patch already in launchpad for that | 10:01 |
| janimo | janimo, but if it does not run it's fine no? | 10:01 |
| nomed | sent one h ago | 10:01 |
| janimo | I mean it does not cause a breakage | 10:01 |
| mdz | mvo: I just confirmed the fix with eac06b7357e678b79d43b59e4727eb30 cd/ubuntu/dapper-live-i386.iso | 10:01 |
| nomed | janimo: and if xscrinsaver is runing ? :) | 10:01 |
| nomed | janimo: if it checks that there is a reason for sure :) | 10:02 |
| janimo | well, does it cause breakge or does it just kick in | 10:02 |
| mdz | janimo: it just pokes it so that the screensaver doesn't activate | 10:02 |
| janimo | well it can be annoying but not crash your install halway I guess? | 10:02 |
| mdz | shouldn't be a functional problem | 10:02 |
| janimo | halfway | 10:02 |
| nomed | janimo: it didn't casuse breakage because xscrinsaver didn't start here | 10:02 |
| janimo | nomed, one bug fixes the other :) | 10:02 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: shouldn't we get espresso removed from the system tools menu too then? | 10:03 |

| Mithrandir | fabbione: url to debdiff? | 10:08 |

| nomed | as espresso fails installing grub | 10:16 |

| mvo | Mithrandir: the reboot-prompt works nicely for me in real hardware | 10:18 |
| Mithrandir | mvo: it has worked 2/3 times for me in vmware too | 10:18 |
| Kamion | pitti_live: not as far as I know | 10:18 |
| mdz | Mithrandir,mvo: gar | 10:18 |
| Kamion | pitti_live: that's debootstrap or apt or something, not really the core installer doing that | 10:18 |
| mdz | there could be a race there | 10:18 |
| pitti_live | Kamion: ok, thanks | 10:18 |
| mvo | Mithrandir: no luck for me here, tried it 4 times in vmware | 10:18 |

| pitti_live | Mithrandir: current ppc/install is good | 10:20 |
| nomed | Kamion: :/ i'm sorry .. anyway it just adds an if [ -n "$removabledevice" ] ; then before calling udevinfo | 10:21 |
| mdz | Mithrandir,mvo: my guess would be that it's interrupting a syscall other than select(2) and so not breaking the event loop | 10:22 |
| Kamion | nomed: yeah, I have a better patch here | 10:22 |
| mdz | Mithrandir,mvo: unfortunately I don't think it's safe to call cleanup() from a signal handler | 10:23 |
| Kamion | well, neater :) just if [ -z "$removabledevice ] ; then return; fi early on in is_removable | 10:23 |
| Kamion | the general approach of your patch was ok, it was just a bit noisy | 10:23 |
| janimo | nomed, what's the issue with apt-install for xubuntu? | 10:23 |
| mvo | *meh* bad news, my second test on real-hw gave me no prompt :/ (the first did) | 10:23 |

| mdz | mvo: yes, works for me too | 10:55 |
| janimo | Gloubiboulga: I'll rsync that too, but first I want to see what with the xfprint error, so we don;t do too many live builds | 10:55 |
| mdz | mvo: but it touches a lot for the day before beta | 10:55 |
| seb128 | mdz: done | 10:56 |

| mvo | mdz: yes :/ | 10:57 |

| mdz | Mithrandir: thanks | 11:39 |
| mdz | Keybuk: for final, I mean | 11:40 |
| pitti | Mithrandir: ppc/live Testing/Short + Espresso is thumbs up for me, too | 11:40 |
| Keybuk | I still suspect I'd start it from sendsigs, simple because sendsigs is responsible for accidentally killing it | 11:41 |
| Keybuk | but I'm not unhappy with starting it from another init script again either, other than maybe that'll cause some oddness with progress bar jumps | 11:41 |
| mdz | it doesn't strictly know if it was running, though | 11:41 |
| Keybuk | nor would any other init script? | 11:43 |
| fabbione | pitti: are you updating the wiki? | 11:44 |
| mdz | you've duplicated the logic that splash_down uses to determine whether it should start | 11:44 |
| Kamion | I'm going to attempt to pull new translations into espresso | 11:44 |
| Kamion | when Rosetta gets back to me | 11:44 |
| Kamion | should make it for the next archive cycle | 11:44 |
| mdz | heh, in the course of discussing it I managed to miss the interesting bit of the shutdown sequence | 11:44 |
| Keybuk | mdz: actually, I got that from the initramfs script | 11:45 |
| Keybuk | mdz: doofus | 11:45 |
| infinity | Erm, why would you restart it from sendsigs, when you can just have sendsigs not kill it in the first place? (with a patch to killall5) | 11:47 |
| infinity | (For final, that is) | 11:47 |
| pitti | fabbione: no, since I was told that these are still not the final images; shall I? | 11:47 |
| fabbione | well that's what i am doing | 11:48 |
| mdz | Keybuk: this looks just fine | 11:48 |
| mdz | Keybuk: the flicker isn't too bad in vmware; presumably significantly better on a real machine | 11:48 |
| pitti | fabbione: ok, I'll just add my results with the CD version then | 11:48 |
| mdz | infinity: I think I like this better actually | 11:48 |
| pitti | fabbione: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Current ? That still says 'Flight-6' | 11:49 |
| fabbione | pitti: whatever.. we discussed this yesterday with dholbach | 11:50 |
| fabbione | to start using it for pre-beta releases | 11:50 |
| mdz | infinity: having done it the other way already | 11:50 |
| mdz | Keybuk: let's do it | 11:50 |
| dholbach | fabbione: we can change the 'flight-6' to daily 19-apr-06 too | 11:50 |
| pitti | dholbach: ok, so if that's the page to use, I'll add my results | 11:51 |
| dholbach | super | 11:51 |
| infinity | mdz: This way will start the splash if it's already timed out and died, and other such oddities. I'm fine with it for the beta, I'm just questioning it for release. | 11:51 |
| mdz | infinity: well, http://people.ubuntu.com/~mdz/splash-down/usplash.diff is appropriate post-beta in any case, if you'd like to review and merge it | 11:52 |

| janimo | Mithrandir: I'll ping you about xubuntu install CD as well not only live, as I wait for last upload to build.thanks | 11:54 |
| infinity | Well, killall5 is specifically meant to be called from nowhere but that one init script, so I don't see any harm in customising it. | 11:54 |
| infinity | And it already walks the process table and gets process basenames, so it's not invasive. | 11:55 |
| mdz | the customisation is backward-compatible anyway | 11:55 |

| Diziet | I need to know whether it's sensible to use pango if you think you already know the metrics of the font, and are going to place things yourself. | 12:47 |
| === ogra is still waiting for the seeds to sync ... for a -meta rebuild ... | ||
| mdz | https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+builds says no pending builds; can that be right? | 12:48 |
| Diziet | I'm hoping that the answer is `no'. | 12:48 |
| mdz | Kinnison: what's the most straightforward way for us to require approval for all dapper uploads? | 12:50 |
| Keybuk | Diziet: do you know that the font contains all the characters you need? | 12:51 |
| Keybuk | pango's speciality is ensuring you can render any unicode character, and are not limited to those in a particular font | 12:51 |
| Diziet | Keybuk: It's not me that might be using pango in this way. Are you providing an argument to say that no-one could reasonably do so ? | 12:52 |
| Diziet | I would like to do something to pango which would break exactly applications which do that. | 12:53 |
| Diziet | For example, if evince used pango to do the document's text rendering somehow (obviously this doesn't really fit with the PDF model but it could bodge it somehow for some reason, and anyway it's just an example). | 12:54 |
| Keybuk | evince does use pango, doesn't it? | 12:54 |
| mdz | Kamion: hmm, the progress bar has closed and there's no more hard disk activity, so I assume the resize finished, but I still have a busy cursor | 12:54 |
| Diziet | Not for rendering the text in the main document window, surely ? I thought that stuff was all defined by the PostScript/PDF font and rendering model. | 12:54 |
| Diziet | Obviously it uses pango for the widgets etc. | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | no idea | 12:55 |
| Keybuk | if it doesn't use pango, how does it render international text? | 12:55 |
| Kamion | mdz: sounds like a bug | 12:55 |
| Diziet | Keybuk: PostScript and PDF have their own font and glyph resolution setup. | 12:55 |
| mdz | Kamion: the Forward button is sensitive, but clicking it doesn't take me anywhere | 12:56 |
| Kamion | mdz: tail the log, see if it says anything | 12:56 |
| mdz | Kamion: nothing | 12:56 |
| Kamion | I need the log attached to a bug report | 12:57 |
| mdz | last thing in there is a bunch of those recipes.sh 'not a valid identifier' errors | 12:57 |
| Kamion | there may be something earlier on | 12:57 |
| mdz | ok | 12:57 |
| Kinnison | mdz: Hmm, not sure, give me a few minutes to ponder that | 12:57 |
| ogra | hmm, why do we have universe fonts in the desktop seed | 12:57 |
| ogra | ttf-lao and ttf-gentium are in both desktop seeds (edu/ubuntu) | 12:58 |
| mdz | Kinnison: while you ponder, please do some test installs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Current | 12:59 |
| Kinnison | mdz: sure | 12:59 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: the language list is sorted weirdly - norsk bokml, nederlands, norsk nynorsk. | 01:01 |
| Kamion | Kinnison: the by-hand publisher run I'm doing isn't going to finish quite in time, so I've moved the cronned one back a few minutes | 01:01 |
| Mithrandir | (probably because of nb_NO, nl_NL, nn_NO?) | 01:01 |

| pitti | Mithrandir: doesn't make much of a difference locally | 02:54 |
| Mithrandir | pitti: oh, true that. | 02:54 |

| nomed | janimo: yep it shows File not found error | 02:55 |
| Riddell | Kamion: ok, looks like it needs the call to self.translate_widgets() in __init__ commented out as well | 02:55 |
| janimo | nomed, probably because we do not have any translations of the about doc | 02:55 |
| nomed | janimo: then .. i'm talkin to xarchiver devel .. | 02:55 |

| mdz | Kamion: it doesn't affect *all* resizing scenarios, right? | 03:12 |

| === jinty [n=jinty@12.Red-83-58-173.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| Kamion | mdz: fine, although I think once it gets below a minute it should be in seconds | 03:14 |
| mdz | Kamion: hmm..."auto resizing doesn't work" is sort of a big one for the known bugs/caveats list | 03:14 |
| Kamion | it does work, the UI is just very messy | 03:14 |
| Kamion | oh, sorry, two conflated issues | 03:15 |
| Kamion | crap, I hadn't looked at the forward button not working yet, I was just talking about the slider being at zero | 03:15 |
| mdz | the thing with the slider is not a big deal, but the inability to continue is | 03:15 |
| Kamion | agreed; investigating now, I see it too | 03:15 |
| Kamion | that may be a one-liner | 03:16 |
| mdz | the time estimate goes up and down a lot, especially on laptop drives which spin up and down | 03:16 |
| mdz | which is why I don't think 1-second granularity is appropriate | 03:16 |
| mdz | we could make it a decaying average or something, but it seems simpler to just fuzzy it | 03:17 |
| Kamion | by the time we get to less than one minute left, we have accumulated enough data that I think it should be possible to smooth that out | 03:17 |
| Kamion | it actually is a decaying average | 03:17 |
| === ploum [n=ploum@ubuntu/member/ploum] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdz | oh | 03:17 |
| Kamion | can easily tweak the decay | 03:17 |
| mdz | it's surprisingly unstable then | 03:17 |
| Kamion | oh, no, it's not quite - it samples over a period of time and takes the average of the last minute's worth of samples | 03:18 |
| mdz | how many samples per minute? | 03:19 |
| Kamion | which is not really the same thing as a decaying average, although it would probably not be too hard to make it one | 03:19 |
| Kamion | it samples after every file but only keeps samples that are at least half a second apart | 03:19 |
| Kamion | so if there are big files in there it could be rather less than 120 samples per minute | 03:20 |
| mvo | iirc there is a open bugreport about resizing showing no progress information? | 03:21 |
| Kamion | I didn't want to get into the signal handling or threading required to sample more smoothly than that | 03:21 |
| Kamion | mvo: it depends on the filesystem, I believe; those bugs are common between d-i and espresso | 03:23 |

| hendry | just wondering how that is setup | 03:54 |
| Diziet | Are we still in beta freeze ? If so I need a freeze exception or to be told to wait ... | 03:55 |

| Riddell | that'll be the live fs build, probably Mithrandir has the scripts to make it, but just before beta isn't a good time to ask | 03:55 |
| ogra | hendry, http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/archives/colin.watson@canonical.com--2005/debian-cd/ might help | 03:55 |
| Mithrandir | hendry: that's just a debootstrap + package installations + mksquashfs and it pulls the squashed file system, the initrd and the kernel. | 03:55 |
| hendry | ogra: yeah, i have that thanks | 03:55 |
| Diziet | I have what I'm pretty confident is the right fix to the printing vs firefox font issue. It tests fine for me with firefox and evince, which are the two test cases I've been given, and it feels right. | 03:56 |
| Diziet | The new packages are fontconfig and pango. No new firefox needed. | 03:56 |
| Mithrandir | Diziet: is it crucial for beta? | 03:56 |
| hendry | Mithrandir: by package installations, do you mean the germinate selections? or just the base system? | 03:56 |
| Diziet | No, I don't think it's crucial for beta. Waiting would be OK. | 03:56 |
| Diziet | We've got doko's reversion of the reversion which will do for the beta. | 03:56 |
| hendry | Riddell: what do you mean by beta? is there a beta release coming soon? | 03:56 |

| ogra | damn... what do you drop if you dont know how much space is needed :/ | 04:32 |
| mdz | the least necessary things | 04:32 |
| pitti | mdz: as a first measure, we could deactivate removal of locales in the first place | 04:32 |
| ogra | mdz, heh, i'm far beyond that | 04:32 |
| mdz | pitti: i want to avoid cruft in beta installs; they should be cleanly upgradeable to final | 04:32 |
| pitti | mdz: they don't exactly hurt, it was mainly for proper cleanup | 04:32 |
| mdz | with a reasonably equivalent result | 04:33 |
| doko | pitti: there are still too many open ... did you already decide on cups 1.2 after the beta? | 04:33 |
| pitti | doko: yes, the packages are looking quite good | 04:33 |
| pitti | mdz: cruft? you are talking about the locale regeneration, right? | 04:33 |
| ogra | none of the ally changes were merged in the seeds, that struck me hard tonight ... gnome-ally-themes would gain me a lot, but i'm not sure if i wanna drop that | 04:33 |

| ogra | Kamion, thanks | 04:35 |

| freeflying | Mithrandir: so it will be the same in livecd | 04:42 |
| mdz | freeflying: does it DTRT if you select Chinese from the menu? | 04:42 |
| mdz | freeflying: you shouldn't need to enter a boot option by hand | 04:42 |
| Surak | hello | 04:42 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: probably not. casper does a grep and select the first hit. | 04:43 |
| Mithrandir | (from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED) | 04:43 |
| pitti | freeflying: use locale=zh_CN.UTF-8 then | 04:43 |
| mdz | Mithrandir: but shouldn't gfxboot give you an exact locale spec? | 04:43 |
| Surak | Kamion: as monday, dapper's desktop espresso icon disappeared. Is it already back? | 04:43 |
| mdz | e.g., zh_CN.UTF-8 | 04:43 |
| freeflying | pitti: ya, now I'd do as you said for the livecd remarstered fo chinese users | 04:44 |

| freeflying | as Mithrandir said , casper will use the first one in SUPPORTED | 04:44 |
| Mithrandir | mdz: maybe, and I might be messing up with another bug which is that casper and gfxboot conspires to give you de_AT if you select "german". | 04:44 |
| freeflying | pitti: why can't I use im-switch in livecd | 04:45 |
| pitti | mdz: ok, replacing 'locale-gen' with 'rm -rf /var/lib/locale/$1_*' should do the trick | 04:45 |
| Surak | Kamion: I just booted monday's dapper-386-live and there's no espresso icon on desktop. I am in a slow network connection, so I cannot get today's one. I'll open a bug anyway. | 04:46 |
| Mithrandir | Surak: that's fixed already. | 04:46 |
| mdz | pitti: could you clear the testing table for the new build? | 04:46 |
| pitti | mdz: it simply removes the binary locale data instead of asking locale-gen to throw them all away and regenerate the ones we don't want to remove | 04:46 |
| mdz | pitti: hmm, wouldn't that leave them in locale.gen? | 04:46 |
| pitti | mdz: I can, but shall I prepare a belocs-locales-bin upload for that change? | 04:47 |
| mdz | pitti: to be regenerated the next time locale-gen runs? | 04:47 |
| Surak | Mithrandir: ok then. What's the package which puts the icon there? | 04:47 |
| pitti | mdz: no, since /var/lib/locales/supported.d/<LANG> is a shipped file of the langpacks | 04:47 |
| mdz | Surak: casper, but upgrading it won't make the icon appear | 04:47 |
| Mithrandir | Surak: casper, but it's already fixed. | 04:48 |

| mdz | pitti: oh, I see | 04:48 |
| mdz | pitti: that sounds good then | 04:48 |
| pitti | mdz: that was the reason why we eliminated /etc/locale.gen | 04:48 |
| Surak | Mithrandir: ok, just to know. Thanks. | 04:48 |
| mdz | pitti: go ahead | 04:48 |

| pitti | sure, I will | 04:52 |
| Surak | Kamion: I saw a discussion about gnome-screensaver being activated during espresso execution. It just happened here, when I was setting timezone. | 04:52 |
| ogra | should be fixed a while ago | 04:53 |
| mdz | dholbach: I was thinking we could adapt the test plan to use example-content, that's a good quick way to test the major applications | 04:53 |
| mdz | dholbach: e.g., rather than open Writer, open one of the oo.o example documents | 04:54 |
| dholbach | mdz: right - I'll add that as well | 04:54 |
| Mithrandir | Surak: please, if you want to help contributing, get a recent cd; we're working as quickly as we can to stamp out bugs, which means that testing of a two day old cd is not very useful. | 04:54 |
| === Mithrandir is off to make some dinner. | ||
| Surak | Mithrandir: sorry. As I said before, I'm right now on a dial-up connection. No chance to download it right now. | 04:56 |
| Kamion | Surak: I made espresso call gnome-screensaver-command --poke ages ago, so I guess it must be a gnome-screensaver bug that it kicks in when the timezone is changed | 04:57 |
| mdz | dholbach,mvo: do you think the test plan shuold use Software Properties rather than Synaptic? | 04:57 |
| mvo | mdz: synaptic uses software-properties internal (when available) as repository editor, so it shouldn't matter | 04:58 |
| dholbach | mdz: we could try one in the short test suite and one in the long one, does that make sense? | 04:58 |
| mdz | mvo: it avoids the synaptic startup dialog and should be simpler to follow | 04:58 |

| mgalvin | the launchpad guys said this was not easily possible yet via launchpad directly so might anyone know of a good way to get a rough closed bug count during the dapper dev cycle? | 05:05 |

| mgalvin | i tought this might be worth noting on DapperBeta to prove the delay was worth the extra time to fix bugs and such | 05:06 |

| Kamion | are you sure you're resolving conflicts and committing properly after merging from me? | 05:23 |
| Mithrandir | freeflying: So you're asking about how to set some environment variables when you have a customised live cd? | 05:23 |
| freeflying | Mithrandir: I can do it maually , but actrually it shall be as the same as install cd do | 05:24 |
| Mithrandir | freeflying: I have no idea what you want to have changed in casper. You're basically just saying "some environment variables on the live cd are wrong". | 05:25 |

| ogra | especially PQSERVICE seems very strange | 08:33 |

| dholbach | at least not to my knowledge | 08:36 |
| HiddenWolf | dholbach: btw, nautilus and gtk filechooser are showing the unmounted usb/flash ports and empty cdrom drives as places. Is that the expected behavior? | 08:36 |
| dholbach | HiddenWolf: i never wondered about that - i just checked the filechooser | 08:40 |

| Kamion | that approach is really preferable in the medium term | 09:01 |
| ogra | it can only use what ddcprobe gives it | 09:01 |
| ogra | and on all these laptops ddcprobe is useless | 09:01 |
| ogra | the installer usually falls back to ask on all of them | 09:02 |
| Kamion | in theory, we could extend xresprobe to know about specific laptop models | 09:02 |
| ogra | hmm, true | 09:02 |
| Kamion | there is probably some way to distinguish them, even if it isn't EDID/DDC | 09:02 |

| janimo | neutrinomass: search the wiki there are very generic specs related to that | 09:13 |
| neutrinomass | janimo: I found a spec related to speeding up the boot process (which InitNG __dramatically__ does), but not focused on the boot per se but on gnome. Let me search again :) | 09:15 |
| janimo | neutrinomass: not sure, but I think it was called fasterboot or something | 09:15 |
| janimo | however the view seems to be that initNG does not solve the larger problems of sysvinit, and parallel/faster boot should be just one of the benefits of the new system | 09:16 |

| wasabi | I did some reading on it's arch. It sounds solid. | 09:18 |

| jdub | janimo: because 'people' are stupid | 09:18 |
| neutrinomass | janimo: Yes. A really far-fetched thing would be to create our own boot system, based on exactly what we need. The paralellism is absolutely essential though ... | 09:18 |
| wasabi | I doubt there's any want or need to create our own. :) | 09:19 |
| thom | neutrinomass: is it? it doesn't buy you much; we played with it | 09:19 |

| janimo | jdub: that;s cool. I thought sun was evil and purpposely not going with GPL-friendly lic | 09:19 |
| jdub | neutrinomass: do some basic testing - parallelism doesn't get you as much as you think | 09:19 |
| neutrinomass | thom: It is. I used it on Gentoo and it halved my boot time.. | 09:19 |
| wasabi | It's not parallelism, it's accounting, that is liked. | 09:20 |
| wasabi | imo. ;0 | 09:20 |
| jdub | janimo: they purposefully did not use the GPL, but that does not entirely result in 'evil' | 09:20 |

| jdub | janimo: he's more fond of launchd | 09:21 |
| neutrinomass | thom: Actually gentoo boot pretty fast (which is to be expected, since you only start exactly what you want). AFAIK they have written their own initscripts, and a "stock" installation (base+gnome) boots faster than dapper :( | 09:21 |

| Kamion | neutrinomass: but if we have to disable it by default, the installer would have to be able to enable it by default again in the event that you configure RAID in the installer (however, that does make it more difficult to install without RAID and then set up RAID later, which is not all that uncommon and shouldn't be intentionally made more difficult) | 09:41 |

| ogra | hrm | 10:43 |
| dholbach | better mdke_ | 10:43 |
| ogra | isnt there a wikipage or something for xubuntu and edubuntu how to be able to keep their startpages ? | 10:43 |
| Kamion | ogra: the edubuntu alternatives trick probably doesn't mesh well with i18n | 10:44 |
| ogra | for edubuntu that doc is really important | 10:44 |
| Kamion | ogra: iwj sent a mail about the i18n work, I believe | 10:44 |

| Kamion | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFirefoxStartPageTranslation | 10:45 |
| janimo | ogra, indeed for xubuntu is broken but only if using non-default locale, andonly because we have no translations yet | 10:45 |
| mvo | (on first-boot that is) | 10:45 |
| Kamion | mvo: it's changed, may be broken ... | 10:45 |
| Kamion | mvo: you need to run oem-config-prepare before it'll activate | 10:45 |

| Kamion | ogra: better to get those pages translated; I'd talk to iwj about the details | 10:47 |

| === jinty [n=jinty@12.Red-83-58-173.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | but what do i do with locales where its not translated ? they will automatically see the ubuntu page and wont find the post install notes (i.e. essential for ltsp) | 10:48 |
| ogra | thats not a good spec if i cant disable it ... | 10:48 |

| mvo | Kamion: oem mode works :) changing the language seems to restart the oem-config application (and takes a bit) but I guess this is normal | 10:51 |
| ogra | Kamion, apart from that, edubuntu i386 is gold for both install and live | 10:51 |
| ogra | (apart from the pondering partman change indeed) | 10:52 |

| Kamion | Riddell: due to lack of KDE frontend, you mean? | 11:00 |
| Riddell | yes | 11:00 |
| mdke_ | dholbach, hmm? | 11:01 |
| dholbach | mdke_: ogra and Burgwork were thinking about the aboutubuntu page | 11:02 |
| mdke_ | what's up with it? | 11:02 |
| ogra | mdke, it breaks derivatives ff pages | 11:03 |
| mdke | ogra, the localisation? | 11:03 |
| ogra | yes | 11:03 |
| ogra | there seems no way to disable it | 11:03 |
| mdke | ogra, if you remember, we discussed whether it would be better to have a translated Ubuntu page or an ed/kubuntu page in a foreign language, and that the former was preferable | 11:04 |
| ogra | mdke, that wasnt discussed with me | 11:04 |
| mdke | I'm fairly sure that I made a point of asking your opinion too | 11:04 |
| ogra | in any case it breaks my most important doc and you cant disable it | 11:05 |
| mdke | that's correct. | 11:05 |
| ogra | (even if you'd have asked me, which i definately dont remember, i'd never have agreed to such a plan) | 11:06 |
| mdke | so what are we going to do about it? | 11:06 |
| ogra | and i think xubuntu isnt happy either | 11:06 |
| mdke | xubuntu prefers english for people who don't speak english over a translated ubuntu document? | 11:06 |
| ogra | mdke, no idea | 11:07 |
| mdke | ok. | 11:07 |
| mdke | xubuntu prefers english for people who don't speak english over a translated ubuntu document? | 11:07 |
| mdke | sorry | 11:07 |
| ogra | but i doubt they have enough translators as edubuntu | 11:07 |
| mdke | whoops | 11:07 |
| === nowlin [n=nowlin@d40a91ef.rev.stofanet.dk] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| mdke | well, even if translation was an option for the derivatives, it would still mean doing alternatives on each translation, which is not a realistic option | 11:07 |
| mdke | maybe Ian can think of a way to disable it for you | 11:08 |
| ogra | and since the info on that doc is essential in edubuntu, i'd indeed prefer the english version over a "welcome to ubuntu dapper" with completely broken css | 11:08 |
| === seb128 [n=seb128@ubuntu/member/seb128] has joined #ubuntu-devel | ||
| ogra | i'll talk to ian, we cant change it for beta anyway and the final doc isnt in edubuntu yet | 11:09 |
| Kamion | I think some solution that's better than alternatives needs to be found | 11:09 |
| mdke | ok. | 11:09 |
| ogra | the only thing that really bothers me is that everybody said that wont happen again and we'll shout ... | 11:09 |
| ogra | Kamion, yep | 11:09 |
| mdke | Kamion, if you can think of anything, you'd be my number 1 fan. I'd be very unhappy if we had to bin those translations | 11:09 |
| mdke | hang on | 11:10 |
| mdke | I'd be your, naturally | 11:10 |
| ogra | :) | 11:10 |
| Kamion | I don't have time myself, but I'm sure Ian can once he realises that it's more of an issue than he originally thought | 11:10 |

| mdke | heh | 11:12 |

| ajmitch | ogra: you mean every desktop user shouldn't have apache? :) | 11:13 |
| Kamion | Riddell: done, although post-beta unless kubuntu/install needs to be rebuilt for some other reason | 11:13 |
| Riddell | thanks. I've not had any complains about it so I don't think anyone actually tried it so should be fine for beta | 11:14 |

| ogra | yep | 11:22 |
| ogra | o have installed over it already, but i can try to reproduce if you need info | 11:22 |
| ogra | s/o/i | 11:22 |
| pitti | ogra: espresso sets up spare partitions automatically, much like d-i, but you can't configure them | 11:23 |
| ogra | then it does that randomly | 11:23 |

| Ubugtu | Malone bug 40114 in espresso "does not offer /media mount point setup" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/40114 | 11:23 |
| ogra | i have 4 partitions on that disk | 11:23 |
| ogra | it showed only one on the dektop | 11:23 |
| ogra | and the PQSERVICE device, whatever that is | 11:24 |
| ogra | pitti, seems to be related but not the same | 11:24 |
| kmon | ogra: The PQSERVICE device is a hidden fat partition used in many laptops for recovering the pc to defaults, AFAIK | 11:26 |
| ogra | ah, i did know about that partition, but not that its named like that... funny that you dont see it from fdisk | 11:27 |
| Kamion | yeah, sounds like the same bug according to that | 11:27 |
| Kamion | I'll look at it after beta | 11:27 |
| kmon | ogra: I have an acer laptop with that partition. I think other manufactures use the same recovering software, with the same partition naming scheme... | 11:30 |
| Kamion | mjg59 filed an os-prober patch to let us recognise those partitions, which will help too | 11:30 |
| ogra | yes, thats also an acer | 11:30 |
| whiprush | jdub: we need an eft topic for the fridge. | 11:30 |
| mjg59 | I don't think I had one for the Acer ones | 11:31 |

| mjg59 | Kamion: One issue is that several of them need to be "unhidden" before booting | 11:31 |

| mdke | HedgeMage, just left, thanks | 11:58 |
| HedgeMage | hehe | 11:58 |
| dholbach | I can't imagine that #fazlamesai is so exciting | 11:58 |
| dholbach | but Burgwork joined there, so maybe he can tell us, what the fuss is all about :) | 11:59 |
| Kamion | seb128: that button does have has_default set; not quite sure why it's not activating on Enter | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | nothing exciting | 11:59 |
| ogra | Burgwork, ` | 11:59 |
| shackan | for the first time I've seen I don't know where the ignore button in xchat is | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | a language I didn't understand, looks like they support linux users | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | if fazlamesai.net == #fazlamesai | 11:59 |
| Burgwork | the /topic there disavows any knowledge of the spammers | 12:00 |
| ogra | thats turkish | 12:00 |
| seb128 | Kamion: confirmed that the partman bug is fixed | 12:00 |
| Kamion | seb128: great, thanks | 12:00 |
| seb128 | Kamion: but I don't get why it says the partition has not enough space though | 12:00 |
| Kamion | good to have confirmation of that, I'd cowboy-tested it only | 12:00 |
| seb128 | it has 14.21GB free | 12:00 |
| Kamion | seb128: the default slider position is wrong; that's part of the same bug | 12:00 |
| seb128 | slider is on 12 | 12:01 |
| Kamion | you might need to up it to 13, if that was the default you got after going forward once | 12:01 |
| seb128 | (it was not on first try I think, it looked like it changed after hitting the error) | 12:01 |
| Kamion | I think there's a rounding error | 12:01 |
| Burgwork | dholbach, you been spying on me again? | 12:01 |
| Kamion | but I only noticed it today, so haven't fixed it yet | 12:01 |
| dholbach | Burgwork: sure... I'm your most passionate stalker | 12:01 |
| ogra | Burgwork, http://www.fazlamesai.net/int/ btw | 12:01 |
| azeem | people with a .comcast.net IP were spamming #debian in a similar way last night | 12:02 |
| Burgwork | ogra, mm, just saw that, thanks | 12:02 |
| dholbach | Burgwork: I checked /who #fazlamesai to see how many people there were etc | 12:02 |
| seb128 | Kamion: 14.21Go free according to manual partitioning screen | 12:02 |
| Kamion | seb128: how big's the partition? | 12:02 |
| seb128 | 16 | 12:02 |
| seb128 | 16.19G | 12:02 |
